Genus Anopheles. 
Professor Nuttall sends me two 9’s from America in spirit, 
which, although much damaged, show the two features men¬ 
tioned by Coquillett very clearly, and so are readily separated 
from the C. punctipennis of Say. 
Habitat. —United States, at the following places : District 
of Columbia (Pergande) ; Georgia; New Orleans (Yeaye) ; 
Richmond, Va. (Slosson). Wiedemann says very common on 
the Mississippi, where it is very troublesome to travellers, and 
also gives Pennsylvania as a habitat. 
Time of capture. —April in Columbia ; .Tune and November 
at New Orleans. 
Observations. —Wiedemann was clearly wrong in identifying 
Say’s species as his A. crucians , although they apparently occur 
in the same locality. Coquillett gives A. ferruginosus of Wiede¬ 
mann as a synonym of A. crucians. “ I strongly suspect,” he 
says, “ that the type of ferruginosus is a rubbed example of 
A. crucians , which was described from the same locality.” This 
may possibly be the case, for Wiedemann’s description agrees to 
some extent, but he specially refers to the difference from 
A. crucians in the Tegs being shorter. Professor Howard says 
this species seems to be rarer than the other two American 
species (A. maculipennis and A. punctipennis), and has been taken 
only in a few instances A 
36. Anopheles Grabhamii. n. sp.f 
(PI. A.) 
9 • Head dark brown, with black upright forked scales behind 
and at the sides, a patch of grey ones in the middle of the head, a 
few white ones projecting in front, and a long tuft of white hairs 
spreading outwards; eyes metallic coppery ; proboscis long and 
thin, brown; palpi brown, bright brown at the swollen end, with 
prominent scales at the base ; basal joint of antennae dark brown. 
Thorax silvery-grey, mottled with bright chestnut-brown, 
with two dark brown eye-like patches on each side towards the 
posterior half of the mesonotum, and a dark central line in 
front; a lateral tuft of dark, broadish scales on each side in 
front, and a patch of hair-like creamy ones in the middle, 
projecting over the neck ; the whole mesonotum covered with 
scattered golden, curved, hair like scales; scutellum greyish at
